Frequently Asked Questions
What is 800 grit used for on a DA sander?
800 grit Hookit discs are used for final sanding of primer before basecoat, scuffing existing finishes for recoating, and light surface refinement. They provide the fine scratch pattern needed for excellent paint adhesion.
What’s the difference between Hookit and Stikit discs?
Hookit discs use hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) attachment and can be removed and reattached. Stikit discs use PSA adhesive and are typically single-use. Hookit is more economical when changing grits frequently.
What pad do I need?
Use a 6-inch Hookit (hook-and-loop) backing pad like the 3M 05776.
